RE: 85 in Val with removable scale surfaces
That is one awesome looking Val. One of my favorite planes. I too have both of these plans stored and have even printed them out at the larger scale. One of them I believe was for an electric version at about 65" span. It is the earlier version of the Val and the other plan is the later version of the Val and was drawn for glow. The two versions can most easily be told apart by the size of the cowling. ther earlier version had a smaller cowl and a large upslope to the cockpit and the later version is larger with little slope.
I am very interested to see how this one flew.
